Prat 3.0
In loving memory of Jon Akthar (Sylvanaar)
Hello WoW community, I'm LuciferCatnip, Sylvanaar was my coworker and my mentor. It goes without saying that Jon was an amazingly talented individual. He always seemed to know everything... but he once said to me "It's not about knowing the answers, it's about asking the right questions", he always challenged me to ask me the right questions until I would arrive at the answer on my own terms. Jon was also a champion of the open source movement, and so with special thanks to Gil from Curseforge as well as Sylvanaar's family, there's no better way to honor Sylvanaar's legacy than to keep his project going strong in the community.
If you'd like to help maintain Prat, please reach out to MysticalOS or LuciferCatnip directly. Thank you so much.
About
Prat-3.0 is a chat enhancement addon for World of Warcraft.
It is made up of 30+ smaller "modules" which each provide additional functionality, and can be enabled or disabled individually.
In game, type /prat for a menu. Or use the icon on one of the many data broker hosts.
Prat has just about every feature you can think of, and then some. Really. When I get some more time, I'll try and put together a full list (Even I have lost count)
(Thanks to Dreamsight for this partial list)
- Sync your chat settings across your account (Beta)
- AI powered spam filter (Beta)
- Change arrows, buttons, mouse scroll for chat scroll, scroll speed
- you can add player color per channel, color per level, color per class
- timestamps (styled)
- whether to show timestamp (what format the timestamp should be in)
- whether to show players level
- you can select the option for channel "stickys" (last channel you used you auto use when hitting enter, that sort of thing – or last thing someone said)
- change the looks of the chat's editbox - as well as where it appears (you can even undock it and move it to where you'd like it to be)
- chat fading, fading delay
- You can change the font to a list of fonts, add an outline to it, monochrome it (if you don’t mind messing with files a bit you could probably even add other fonts to that list)
- change the chat frame/chat box appearance
- Keep chat history between game sessions
- Set channel abbreviations
- set brackets and color(or something instead of brackets)round player/lvl
- alt invite option (press keyboard “alt” button and click on the player’s name to auto inv them)
- raid icon
- invite links - click them to invite the person
- URL copying
- Full chat copying + copy button
- Click timestamp to copy line
- Configurable alerts when your name or other word is mentioned
- enables tell target /tt which whispers your target
- Alias options - make macros into short commands
- See names of players Alt characters
- change chat sounds (incoming and outgoing as well as per channel)
- Achievements info and grats
- Full chat search and search box
- Customizable filters for advanced users
- Show item icon next to item links and player class icon next to player names
- Icon-only options for newcomers chat
- Optional flashing or font color change for chat tabs when a new message comes in.
You can enable/disable all Prat modules - don't have to have the ones you don't use running
While trying to reduce resource utilization, it is also important to note that some people prefer the features, and don't care that an addon uses 500k more.
i havent been able to figure this out, but cross-server anything with Prat is not functioning.
If i want to invite anyone, send anyone a tell, or literally ANYTHING to another person not on my server, the only way ive been able to do it is to reload without Prat, or if its a guildmate, use the in-game default guildroster every time.
Am i doing something wrong, or is there an option i am missing?
Even if it manages to append the server name to the person i am dealing with it doesnt function.
FEATURE REQUEST:
Can you please make it so that the chat frame can be resized by dragging the top edge upward and the right edge to the right. On occasion I need to expand the chat box to see more lines. But with Prat, this is a two step process. I must first move the chat box up to where I want the top to be, then I have to expand it downward to the bottom of the screen. It would be SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT if I could simply click the top of the frame and expand it upward.
Want to see an example of this? Look at the addon PhanxChat. It does exactly what I'm describing.
How do you turn off achievement announcement for other players in the area using Prat? It pops up in the Chat box.... spamming me..I tried to get rid of it thru chat box setttings, but the option to turn off achievement announcements wasnt even there...so I figured it was through Prat....but can't find it. Please, anyone help me out?
Hey,
I used to be able to type
/w H
and regardless of them being online a list of names would come up with everyone in the guild who's name started with a H (for example).
Since patch, this isn't working anymore! Please fix this!!!
I have a problem that when i type something in the guild chat and then try to type there again it always goes back to say and not in guild chat even tho i have selected all those to sticky and it did worked before. Is there something i can do about that?
Hello developers! Thank you for this wonderful addon. It's one of my favorites!
I am dyslexic (insert jokes here) and would absolutely love to see a dyslexic-friendly font addition to the addon. http://www.dyslexiefont.com/en/order/home-use/ has a free one that works wonderfully for people like me. Thank you for your consideration!
All ingame links, items, abilites etc show the level of the one linking. How do i turn this off?
Any way to make the most recent lines appear at the top rather than the bottom?
My global channels doesn't work and it's gray in settings. How can i fix it?
Same trouble.
You can have WoW chat settings set up to show class automatically without an addon. Unfortunately, I agree about the lag in levels. Not worth it imo.
While Prat is very good at detecting ppls class it seems slower in detecting their levels, I have to do manual /who searches on my guildies all the time to update their level in chat.
Have you tried deleting your settings for the addon?
Prat 3.0 is currently causing the chatbox to lock to a specific width (very narrow) when trying to resize it, and won't allow any incoming message types (gchat, say, etc) to be turned on. It's effectively broken for me right now. Disablind the addon resolves these issues.
Whenever I use up/down arrows to access previously typed line a space is added in front of it making /commands being typed in chat instead of executing.
Is there any way of turning off the hiding of long messages that don't fit the chat window?
This issue is still happening. It will appear whenever a person posts something into any chat channel.
Was still getting these... couldn't find anything on google about this being "known". Can anyone help me out with this?

Prat don't seem to want to display levels on characters that's on a connected realm. It displays class color, removes the realm name at the end, but refuses to display the level in chat.
When an achivement is shown, both realm name and level are displayed.
Oh how I miss the resume-name thingy. It's enabled in Prat, but it's not tab-resuming name at all, since patch. Something you'll work on, sir?
---
What I don't get is how on some toons it works and on others it doesn't. Anyone else has problems with the name-resume thing?
